There are a lot of things to love about Bingo. One of our favorite elements of the game is that ❤️ anyone can play—yes, anyone. But other fun aspects of Bingo are that it’s inclusive and that there isn’t too much ❤️ strategy involved. So if you’re feeling lucky, what are you waiting for?! Let’s get started!

Bingo Basics

When you arrive for Bingo, ❤️ you’ll order as many Bingo sheets as you want to play. Or, if you prefer to play electronically, you’ll receive ❤️ a PHD machine that has as many Bingo sheets as you’ve loaded onto it. Most people increase their odds of ❤️ winning by purchasing more than one sheet. If you’re new to the game, it might be easier to play just ❤️ a couple at first. Just be sure to keep your sheets straight!

These sheets list 25 randomly generated numbers that range ❤️ from 1 to 100. The caller will announce randomized numbers one by one. Simply mark the number on your sheet ❤️ with your dauber! (That’s that jumbo-sized marker, which you can purchase if you left yours at home.) If you’re playing ❤️ on a PHD machine, the device will search your sheets for the number that has been called. Easy, right?

In classic ❤️ Bingo, the first participant to cross out a line of 5 numbers horizontally, vertically, or diagonally wins a part of ❤️ the prize—or, depending on the game, the whole prize! Depending on the Bingo variation, you might be looking to complete ❤️ your sheet with a random pattern of numbers. This may be creating an “X” on the sheet or marking off ❤️ the four corners of the sheet. The biggest payout usually comes when you’ve been lucky enough to cross off each ❤️ number on your sheet.
